About the client

A boutique luxury hotel in Svendborg with 36 elegant rooms, fine dining, lounges, terraces, and corporate meeting spaces.

Stella Maris Hotel de Luxe in Svendborg, Denmark is a boutique luxury hotel featuring 36 elegantly designed rooms, modern amenities, fine dining, bar, lounge, terraces, and corporate meeting spaces. Guests enjoy complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and 24-hour room service.

Despite a premium experience, their outdated website and fragmented booking system created confusion.

i The challenge

Outdated site + external booking confusion + double-booking risk.

The old site lacked luxury design consistency. Guests were redirected to an external booking platform — confusion, drop-offs, incomplete reservations. Heavy dependency on third-party booking platforms.

Poor SEO limited visibility. Fragmented booking caused syncing issues with Booking.com — double-bookings + outdated availability.
